Fraunhofer Institute for Innovative, Modular and Adjustable Assembly System in Lightweight Design
ASSOSS is a novel structure designed to provide structural support and efficient thermal management for optical space sensors, developed in a joint venture between Space Structures GmbH, BTU Cottbus – Senftenberg, and Fraunhofer IAP.
In addition to the considerable weight savings and the resulting increase in payload, the modular approach significantly reduces the time required for development, production and verification. The assembly system consists of the following components: The novel assembly structure in ultra-lightweight design with an innovative connection system (sub-project Space Structures GmbH) and the thermal management system consisting of the innovative flexible thermal strap in hybrid lightweight design.
